(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
In the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation, Spot is Data's pet cat. His attempts to train the cat were comical as it would never listen. Although Data could not feel love for Spot (prior to the events of Star Trek: Generations), he did care for it well.An interesting fact is that Data created several hundred different food supplements for Spot. Another is that a genetic disease once caused Spot to mutate into a reptile (in the Season 7 episode Genesis).
Spot originally appeared as a Somali cat, but he later became a normal house cat. Spot also changed sex from male to female, giving birth to kittens in Genesis. These inconsistencies are more likely cases of bad continuity than some science-fiction plot.

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | SYCOPHANT, n. One who approaches Greatness on his belly so that he may not be commanded to turn and be kicked. He is sometimes an editor. As the lean leech, its victim found, is pleased To fix itself upon a part diseased Till, its black hide distended with bad blood, It drops to die of surfeit in the mud, So the base sycophant with joy descries His neighbor's weak spot and his mouth applies, Gorges and prospers like the leech, although, Unlike that reptile, he will not let go. Gelasma, if it paid you to devote Your talent to the service of a goat, Showing by forceful logic that its beard Is more than Aaron's fit to be revered; If to the task of honoring its smell Profit had prompted you, and love as well, The world would benefit at last by you And wealthy malefactors weep anew -- Your favor for a moment's space denied And to the nobler object turned aside. Is't not enough that thrifty millionaires Who loot in freight and spoliate in fares, Or, cursed with consciences that bid them fly To safer villainies of darker dye, Forswearing robbery and fain, instead, To steal (they call it "cornering") our bread May see you groveling their boots to lick And begging for the favor of a kick? Still must you follow to the bitter end Your sycophantic disposition's trend, And in your eagerness to please the rich Hunt hungry sinners to their final ditch? In Morgan's praise you smite the sounding wire, And sing hosannas to great Havemeyher! What's Satan done that him you should eschew? He too is reeking rich -- deducting you. |
